MCE remote and OrigenAE H6 help.....

it just recently finished my HTPC with a origenAE H6 case and im having some problems getting the remote to work correctly. before the origenAE H6 case w/ itrans, i was using the microsoft media center remote and infared kit. i was able to put the htpc to sleep/wake by hitting the power button, but cant do that anymore using the itrans setup. is there a way i can set it up to do that? also, the VFD screen on the case stays on 24/7 even when i shutdown completely unless i turn the switch on the power supply off. is there a way to turn it off without turning the psu off?
